Moderator: James Oseland, Editor in Chief, Saveur Magazine Once associated with the likes of Bordeaux and Bavaria, fine wines are now a growing presence in Asia from Bombay to Beijing. Apart from importing alcoholic beverages in frenzy, Asian vineyards have also emerged to produce respectable wines in places such as India, Thailand, Vietnam and China. Here in America, many restaurateurs have taken the cue to reinvent their menus through pairing their fine cuisines with refreshing innovative drinks, imported Asian beers and wines with outstanding results.
